What is a "mattock"?
A mattock is a tool with a long handle and a dual-purpose head, featuring a pick on one side and an axe-like blade on the other. It is used for digging, breaking up soil, or cutting through roots and rocks. The pick end helps to break through hard surfaces, while the blade is useful for chopping or digging. Mattocks are commonly used in gardening, landscaping, and construction for tasks that require heavy-duty digging and breaking of tough ground. Its design allows for efficient work in both soft and compacted soil.
